Into the Box by luthwyhn

[raw]
made by luthwyhn for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get this one to a state that I can call finished. It happens. I'm uploading what I've got, though, in hopes that at least you can see what I was going for and enjoy the concept.

The Idea: A rogue-like where you build each level by taking your items and placing them into The Box. Different items have different shapes, etc. and will create different enemies and items within the rooms they become. Once you've built a floor you like, you enter into the box and are suddenly transported to that level.

Were I to complete it, you'd eventually find some bosses who drop McGuffins that you have to attach to the box. Each one increases the game's difficulty, and when you have all 4 of them you fight a final boss and finally escape The Box back to the real world or whatnot. I like the idea, so I may finish it some day. (I say this with almost every LD)

Finished Elements: character movement, wall collisions, pick up/drop/equip items, jump into the box

Incomplete Elements: enemies, combat, stats, inserting items into box (currently locks the game, sorry), magic, field of vision, a billion other things
